Wireless Keyboard Recommendations

I've had a Logitech G613 for a good few years now, but it's getting a little annoying in repeating some key presses. It used to only do this when the batteries were low, but now it seems to be becoming a more common thing.

Having just moved away from a Logitech mouse (to a Razer DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed... and coincidentally enough I have a new Razer headset) I was wondering if I should bite the bullet and get a new keyboard.

I'd like it to be wireless and good for gaming (but I'm no Pro, so no need for a £300 keyboard!) lighting might be handy but not essential, numpad needed, USB C chargeable would be preferred and I guess mechanical (I want to be able to feel when I've hit a key, if that makes sense?).

I'd think anything below £40 was probably a bit cheap and anything over around £130 is probably wasted on me... but I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!

Check out the Keychron V5 and V6. Both about £100 and good "buy and get on with it" mechanical keyboards.

Thanks. Noob question/confirmation incoming. I assume, even though it's US layout, I just select UK/ENG in my OS and I get my £ back and " over my 2 key?

They do a UK ISO version, so just ensure you get that and not the international version.

Plus one for Keychron, I have a Keychron K10 Pro Cherry Brown switches which is wireless, it is lovely to type on and holds its charge for a decent amount of time.

G915 - I've had it for years. Reliable and does the job well. Downside is if you lose a key cap Logitech does sell replacements.

Righto, I went the V6 Max! Thanks. (I'd been tempted by the Keychron previously, so a few recommendations was enough to make me pull the trigger)

I got the V1 Max and think it's the best keyboard i have owned and the first hot swappable one.

I do usually have it wired, but am just trying out the Bluetooth and seems to be working fine (backlights will run the battery down quick i suppose).

If you went for UK ISO and want different keycaps, they can be hard to find in stock over here, i ended up getting some from China and am very happy with them. I also put some silent switches in as well.

If you can, try and go somewhere you can try them out. Personal preference is a massive factor with mechanical keyboards.
